1Opinion of the Court
PREGERSON, Circuit Judge.
Appellants Williams, Sears, and Johnson entered conditional pleas of guilty to the offense of escape from prison in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 7511 We affirm the district court’s pretrial rulings in all but one respect. The district court erred in its pretrial ruling that defendant Johnson’s offer of proof was insufficient to support a duress defense. Thus, we reverse appellant Johnson’s conviction and remand to the district court for further proceedings to enable Johnson to present his duress defense at trial. We affirm the convictions of appellants Williams and Sears.
